Effect of Gas on Coal,

Iron Trade Review.
A curious thing in regard to the advent of the
new fuel is the fact that, while it has displaced
thousands of of coal in the districts directly
within the gas belt, the figures of production
show that. instead of being materially reduced
thereby, the output Of coal in western Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio last year was very largely in
creased During the first nine months of 1886
there was an increased coal output in the Pitts
burg district of nearly 140. 900 tons, compared
with the same period of 1885, while the Ohio
output in 1886 was 300 600 tons IN excess OF 1883,
aggregatins g. 500 900 tons. This clearly shows
that new markets have been found for the coal
product more than sufficient to make up for the
loss sustained to coal producers by the of
natural gas. Not only this. but the competition
of the new fuel has resulted in greater economy
in the use of coal; that, even should the sup
ply of gas be diminished, or fail the cheaper use
of coal is assured for ali time to

The work in the big tunnel through SIS
kiyou Mountain is progressing rapidly with
prospects of completion in about two
weeks or less. The ,20G-foot tunnel next

drying up rapidly, and will soon be as good

but has been a hitching paddock and a

action OF the implement were used. Though
the test was of the severest character pos

machine crushed the heavy rock like clods
pulverized them, cultivated deeply and left
the earth thoroughly prepared for seeding
